Daily Rides

We are surrounded on Dartmoor by magnificent scenery full of the wonderful heritage of the South West of England, going back at least 4½ thousand years. Coupled with this we have fascinating natural history and landscape which cries out for interpretation. Not only will you ride out on a very special horse but you will have your own unique guided tour of the surroundings.

As we are a small business, with relatively small ride groups we can afford to be quite flexible with what we can offer. Rides are from novice - (competent at rising trot and able to control the horse at walk and trot in open spaces and have experienced cantering) to experienced riders and having spoken with you we will only book you on the type of ride which is within your capabilities and fulfils your expectations.

We don't take beginners.

Please note that we have a weight limit of 16 stone for the shorter rides and 14.5 stone for the long rides, for the welfare of our horses.

There are three basic ride lengths:

Daily ride

2 hrs "Heritage ride" - £70.00

Half day (3 - 3.5 hrs) - £100.00

Full day(5.5-7 hrs) - £165.00

Hands on experience - per day - £165

Please note:

Payment can be made by cash or cheque on the day. If you are booking a ride some time in advance we will require a deposit of 25% of the ride at the time of booking, which can be paid by BACS or by cheque.
